Review: NYX Butter Lip Balm in Brownie

Mon, 25 Nov 2013 17:22:43 +0000

Winter is almost here and the chilly weather sure is not helping my lips! They have been crazy chapped. Chapsticks are usually my HG but I was excited to try this NYX Butter Lip Balm. Believe it or not, this is actually my first NYX lip product and I was not disappointed.

NYX currently offers their Butter Lip Balms in eight shades (Parfait, Ladyfingers, Red Velvet, Macaron, Marshmallow, Biscotti, Panna Cotta, and Brownie) for $4.00 each. You can bet that I will be trying the other seven shades.

Although these are a few dollars more than my trusty chapsticks, I was very impressed. They gave my lips subtle but noticeable color. It also gave me some much needed moisture, which helped keep my lips soft and smooth. Over 12 hours from first using this product, and my lips are still soft and not chapped! I am in LOVE!

If you have not tried these and is looking for some tinted lips balm, I highly recommend this.

What is your favorite lip balm?

Sorry I am a little behind on this, but better late than never, right? I don’t have much items but here are my May favorites.

1) Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes. I bought this at Walmart for about $7. It originally came with 2 packs (120 towelettes). I’m on my last wipe from the first package, but it lasted me a while. They are lightly scented and works very well taking off all of my makeup.

2) MAC Mineralized SkinFinish Medium Dark. This has become my daily face powder and I love it! Before this I used MAC’s Studio Fix, but the MUA suggested this for my dry skin and it works just as good.

3) MAC Fleur Power Blush. This is my second MAC blush. I wanted something that gave my cheeks more colore and I was recommended to try this. It just takes me one dab of my brush to give myself some rosy cheeks.

4) Estee Lauder Pink Parfait. In the past I rarely wore any lipsticks and if I did it would always be a neutral color. So I was a bit hesitant to try this because I always thought I would look weird with any other lipstick colors. But I instantly fell in love with it. It gives my lips a nice shimmery pink color.

5) NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Milk. Usually when I do not feel like using my UDPP Eden, I go straight for my milk to use as a eye primer/base. It took me a while to find this at my local drugstore because it was always sold out! I believed that was a sign that it must be a really good product. After some searching I finally found it. It is easy to use and makes my eyeshadows pop.

6) ELF 100 Eyeshadow Palette. If you don’t have this palette you should consider getting it especially since it is at a great price of just $10! I have only played with it a few times, but it has easily became one of my faves (obviously!). I love all of the colors and most of them are pigmented.

What are your May favorites? If you want me elaborate more on a certain product, please let me know.
